This is the starting point for a bike using one of Jim Henderson's custom tanks. You can see those under parts for sale "Spaceliner tanks". I will post photos as the task goes on. Not sure what I am doing just yet. Have to get this torn down and go from there. I already have the tank.
Stay tuned...

He really nailed those tanks. Maybe the most convincing sex change I've seen--in a bolt-on to boot! Good luck with the build.

I agree about the tanks. I'm no Spaceliner fan but that tank makes for one bad a$$ custom! Can't wait to see what you do with it. V/r Shawn

After about 4 hours of fitting, the tank is now on the frame. Looking cool! Now to decide the next step. Getting the tank ready for paint is obvious, but I still have no clue where I am going with this project. Something will come to me.

The holidays slowed progress, but here it is as of today.....
Decided on the Nexus 7 speed, looks good. Had to stretch the frame a bit to make it fit. Front wheel matches rear, shiny black rim and spokes, red nipples. LIKE IT! Next will be cleaning up the frame ready for paint. Have an idea on "color". Will be different I assure all.
